GPL launching problem

Hello, I've PII350/128MB/Hercules Dynamite TNT and a SB LIVE! I've played GPL before on this system but i had to change Harddisks (From very old SCSI to a Quantum Fireball 10.2GB) Now GPL will not start, i get the start up screen and after a while a black screen, then without an error message i'm back at my w98 desktop :-( I tried several installations (Full, tipical, the 1.1 patch, with the opengl beta (i get a stackdump), Hercules drivers,Nvidia drivers).... The only thing that could be is that i when i installed it the first time (1/2/ year ago) i had a good old SB16 instead of the Live! Anyone got an idea what i'm forgetting to do or to change ? Please HELP :-((( Jeroen (Instead of being at Zandvoort, i wanted to RACE the circuit!) Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Hi, i had a similar problem, and i resolved by changing type of screen (to a plug and play vesa dcc). I noticed that also screen resolution and color depth has some (bad) influence on Gpl when the video is not set properly. good luck David

Thx for reacting, tried it, didn't work out for me, strange things happen, GPL did start up yesterday, had a problem with my T2 and closed GPL, checkd the connection with the T2 and tried to start GPL..... :-( didn't startup anymore, shoot me...... > Hi, > i had a similar problem, and i resolved by changing type of screen (to a > plug and play vesa dcc).
